9 Inexpensive Housewares For Your Nerd Crib

Since I just moved into my new apartment yesterday, I contemplated this morning about what would be some great affordable Etsy editions to my room. I try to buy as much as I can from small businesses to make the world go round. Here are nine of my possible picks. Everything listed is under $20.

I love learning new words and I love black mages. This creative concept was designed by Etsy user Atthedriven. He recycles old dictionary pages and turns them into pieces of art. There’s a multitude of Square Enix and Nintendo prints. For only $5, it’s a steal. Note: the frame isn’t included, but you can by one like it at your local dollar store.

Remember the good old days playing Sonic & Knuckles for hours on the Genesis? Bring back the nostalgia with this unique light switch cover to make your bedroom less boring. Etsy user KittyinPinkDIY also has a NES and a TriForce cover if you’re not a Genesis fan.

Digital Soaps by Chrystal Doucette has been covered in Game Pro, Forbes, and Wired UK. She sells a variety soaps for the gamer, geek or techie. They’re famous across the world but she continues to sell on Etsy. As a soapmaker myself, I think the idea is gold. I mean, seriously, how many ways can you nerdify your bathroom?

So ridiculous yet so cute. Now you can “exterminate!” those Daleks without the Doctor. You don’t need a sonic screwdriver, just eat them! I only have a bunch of seasonal cookie cutters for Christmas and Halloween. This is just the incentive to bake more throughout the year.

Vayne was my first champion in League of Legends and she still remains my favorite. I’m torn between getting “On the Wings of Night” and “Everyday I’m Tumblin.’” Etsy user Pharafax designed prints of other champions like Katarina, Teemo, Miss Fortune, Ezreal, Cho’Gath, and many more. Who’s your main champion?

What a cool way to write notes on the bedroom wall! It’s better than Post-Its and more economical, too. Don’t worry, this Bob-omb will stay in place and won’t explode, so feel free to record grocery lists or notes to your roommate.

It’s Kirby and adorable. Enough said. I’d probably only use this as a decorative towel for my bathroom. I’d be too afraid to mess up Kirby’s face. The SeamsGeeky shop has other cute towels like the Question Block in Super Mario Bros., the Tri Force, and Star Trek uniform pins.

Well, that’s all nine. Let me know in the comments what you think of my selection or if you have any more ideas for my room. Feel free to post pictures of your gaming room, too.
